ABSTRACT:
A process for producing dialkyl carbonates, such as dimethyl carbonate, from the reaction of a primary alcohol with urea in the presence of a novel organotin catalyst complex with a high boiling electron donor compound acting as solvent which are (1) materials having the general is independently selected from C.sub.1-12 alkyl, alkaryl or aralkyl moieties, k=0,1, 2 or 3 and m=1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 and (2) bidentate ligand which form 1:1 bidentate and/or 1:2 monodentate adducts with R'.sub.2 SnX.sub.2 (X=Cl, R'O, R'COO or R'COS), R'.sub.3 SnX, R'SnO, Ph.sub.3-n R'SnX.sub.n or Ph.sub.4-n SnX.sub.n (wherein R'=C.sub.q H.sub.2q-1 n=0, 1 or 2 and q=2 to 12) and mixtures thereof.
